The four-part documentary charts the rivalry between heavyweights Bruno, 62, and Lewis, 59.

The pair fought for the world title in Cardiff in 1993, with Lewis coming out on top.

Before the fight, Bruno questioned how British his opponent was.

The series, out on Prime Video later this week, also tells of the thrilling middleweight bouts between Eubank, now 58, and Benn, 60.

Eubank won the first in 1990 with a ninth-round stoppage before a draw in the rematch three years later.

It also focuses on their struggles outside the ring and how they paved the way for modern-day stars like Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua.

Earlier in the week, The Sun revealed that Lennox Lewis wished he could have mentored Joshua.

The pair have been at loggerheads for most of the 34-year-old’s pro career, with AJ insulted by some of Lennox’s educated criticisms and once labelling Lewis a “clown”.

Back in May, Lennox also commented on the proposed fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.

Lewis said he was more concerned for Jake than 57-year-old Mike in the controversial fight for the ages.
